This reminds me of an episode of South Park.

Lothan said: berniejobs said: I am exactly 30. And I am noticing something interesting about this question. It seems like people who answer the question really look inward and think about themselves, which is not a bad thing. But I don't think people care much about other people's answers. That's not a bad thing, but it goes to show you human nature is rather self-centered. I think people worry about other people's situations mainly to compare it to their own. Human nature?? I look at other people's answers and get a little jealous and competitive. I don't want to hear about other people making 6 figures. I start to get a little sad and wonder where I went wrong. But then when I say that, I can only wonder if anyone else really cares. Human nature, I guess. Who you are ten minutes or ten years from now depends on you. Well let me just say Lothan, you ARE indeed one bad bitch!!   You've earned every good thing that comes your way  I would say I expect to see a sticky thread when you hit 6 figures but I have a feeling you'd get flooded w/ OrgNotes so maybe not
Seriously though, I hate to see someone poo-pooing your success, that ain't cool. The only people we should really be in competition with is ourselves. Set a goal & go after that mf, don't bitch about people who've worked for theirs    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

My 20 year old self would say "Man, Why did you get rid of the Ready For The World Jheri Curl that got you all the honeys? And you need to get rid of that Buick Century"!!. "Nice House though". | |

I procrastinated and procrastinated. If I were exactly 30, I would be looking back with regret but since I am a different person now, I see every day as a new chance to accomplish something, however small.

I understand about the marriage thing. I wanted to be married by 30 and when it didn't happen, I decided it wasn't important to me anymore. I've found the person I want to be with for the rest f my life but since that isn't going to happen, I'll be blissfully single.  | |

I still look the same (have all my hair) and I have better job than I did when I was 20. I still feel the same, still like most of the stuff I did when I was 20. Sometimes it's seems so long ago, then sometimes it feels like just yesterday. |

 I relate. Gatherings with friends and families can make it harder to "get past it." | |

Gatherings with friends and families can make it harder to "get past it."Yea, those are the times when I feel it the most  & I wasn't expecting people close to me to make me feel weird about it but they kinda do, especially the no kids thing I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!!

A week or so ago, she announced her engagement... I called her up and said, "I know what you're trying to do, and I don't appreciate it one bit!!!"
She said I have 2 years (when her wedding will be) to get married before she does.
The bum. [Edited 8/25/07 16:06pm] | |

She would be pleased that I still look GOOD at 40 and my career endeavors have been good, I’ve accomplished a lot. Really happy and proud that I kept my niece on track and she’s turned out okay, embarking on her first year in college. Now on the other hand my younger twenty year old self would be beaten my ass senseless for buying into the bullshit in my personal life…because I knew better. | |
